If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

I hate it when people don't identify people by their full first name, and affect a close even intimate familiarity with the person that is totally unjustified.
Also nobody with or without a glass eye on Sky seems able to pronounce McGillvary (i.e. Mac-GIL-varee). Instead they pronounce it "Mac-Gil-VRAY". Shocking!

Thought the winky was the giveaway to what I'd said, but yah know it's rl fans so certain subtleties pass people by like the snouted one above highlighting my spelling of grammer (sic) in a thread about spelling, still, there's always next year. |

The same way Edward Hemmings continually refers to Hull KRs Italian international winger as Joshua MONTELLATO |

I don't like it either. Most folk aren't too impressed when people misspell or pronounce their own names, so why not offer the same basic courtesy to others, and readers? If you don't know how to spell a name, it only takes a couple of seconds to open another tab, and paste it into Google. Of course, if that's too much trouble...
Sometimes, incredibly, it's the name of their own player, or even coach! What sort of a fan are you, if you don't even know the coach's name?

Someone needs to let E Hemmings know that squoze is not the past participle of the verb to squeeze.

How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

The Sky clowns also mispronounce his name.It should be pronounced Manfreddie.

A Wakefield fan or a Salford fan I would guess.
Sometimes it's hard to keep up with who the coach is on any particular day. |

I think that and the word apostrophes with an unnecessary apostrophe were intentional, hence the wink. |

Whilst we're on pronunciations, even the people on tannoy system at the KC get Josh Bowden name wrong. It's Bowden as in Strongbow, not Bowden as in Bowser.
